Aura Cacia Aromatherapy has an answer for every person on your holiday gift list! Invite a hard-working friend (or the family Santa) to break the everyday routine and indulge in a luxurious change of pace with aromatherapy spa items, for example. Give an acquaintance or relative something that they're not likely to receive in duplicate--a candle lamp with a unique accompanying aroma, for example. Surprise a child with foam baths and a bath toy, or a partner with massage creams and a promising love note. You might even scent the wrapped package with a hint of the contents. Or highlight your creativity by gathering aromatherapy items and accessories into gift baskets. Whatever the presentation, every aromatherapy gift will engage the recipient's body, mind, and spirit.

This section provides some ideas for combining aromatherapy items into themed gift baskets, but you can't go wrong just picking what looks good--especially from the ready-to-use bath and natural personal care sections. For thoughtful gifts and convenient shopping, aromatherapy makes good scents!

Who wouldn't love this? A basket filled with Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Foam Baths, Body Polish, Massage Cream, and Aromatherapy Mists. Made with 100% pure essential oils, these products are available in a variety of scents . . . so choose your favorite! If you have a friend who likes being pampered, soothed, and relaxed--or one who needs to be--this would be an ideal gift. The Home Spa Gift Basket would also be an excellent "hostess gift" for the family member who's serving this year's Christmas dinner. After everyone has left, it would go a long way toward relieving any stress the housecleaning, cooking, baking (and maybe even having to deal with a few of the relatives!) has created. Enhance the presentation of your basket by tucking in a colorful towel, bath sponge, or soap dish.

If you're an aromatherapy enthusiast, you'll delight in introducing friends or family to this ancient practice that can improve quality of life on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. From the following list of oils and their characteristic properties, choose the ones you feel would be most beneficial to the person who will receive the gift basket. Add a Celestial Stone Candle Lamp, a package of Diffuser Lamp Warmer Candles, and perhaps some informational pages on aromatherapy printed from the Frontier website. Then, send your friend on a whole new journey that will last long past the holidays.
